I have an older Hayward AquaRite SWCG and have been frustrated that there seems to be no way to add wifi to it- or if there is, I cannot seem to find it.

So my question is - are there good SWCG controllers out there that can automatically monitor chlorine levels and adjust, or at least be controlled remotely via wifi? I have spent hours on the Hayward site and it seems pretty useless- so many models, no idea what I need. Not many reviews out there. I am sure there are other models also outside of Hayward....

I don't need to control fancy lights, just the chlorine generator (ideally) and I also have a VSP that I could control but not really a necessity.

I have a 36000 gal in ground pool and like the salt water life, just looking to be able to monitor it while away for extended periods and NOT break the bank. Any advice appreciated!

Welcome to the forum.

No. Not without an automation system, as far as being controlled by wifi.
 
Is there a good automation system that can manage the salt cell? It seems like several manufacturers offer them but I have no idea how to evaluate them
Typically it is best to match SWCG and automation manufacturers. Like Pentair, Jandy, and Hayward. Each have different levels of automation systems. See the Wiki for a description of all of them.
